Savages

One more British band and we'll call it a day.  This is not my style anymore but the guitar and beat reminds me of Dead Kennedys and her voice is so Siouxsie & the Banshees. Savages is an all-female post-punk band from London.  They're getting coverage on blogs and are playing Coachella so there will be lots of buzz during SXSW.  Their looks won't hurt.  Check out the video for this song.





Husbands

Chvrches

We'll stick with Northern Great Britain for this preview, too.  This is a band from Glasgow.  This song was chosen for the BBC Songs of 2013 list.  They opened for Passion Pit on some of their tour last year.

The Mother We Share

Little Green Cars

Here's a nice country-rock song from a band out of Dublin.  Here's a good article on them in the Guardian.  Looks like they're being groomed to follow in the footsteps of Mumford and Sons.  Probably will want to catch them soon.

The John Wayne

Gregory Alan Isakov

A little Ryan Adams sound for you.  Well, maybe a lot.  This guy was born in South Africa, raised in Philly, and now lives in Colorado.  I haven't listened to anything else but this song is pretty.

If I Go, I'm Goin

My Jerusalem

Here's a band based here in Austin now.  An indie-Supergroup made of of members of Bishop Allen, Polyphonic Spree, Twilight Singers, and Great Northern.  Not a bad combination.  This song is pretty good.  I heard it on KUTX last week so I guess they're getting some airplay.
